Saturday Special - Most Memorable Last Ball Wins(Donít Miss this one!)

Hereís The scenario:

Last Ball Coming up. It is a do or die for both teams.

Can you Imagine the Excitement, Thrill, Tension that exists in such a situation?
It could be a recognized batsman or a tailender facing the might of the best opposition bowler.

What can happen?

Runs required.

One needed : Not a difficult thing . If the batsman fails to score the match is still a tie.

Two needed : Still not a difficult thing .Strive for a boundary and go for the runs .If a boundary is made, well and good . If two runs made.The job is done.

Three needed : Running three is difficult. The best option is to strive for a boundary.
Even if two runs is made. It is still a tie as scores would be leveled.

Four Needed : A boundary. Tough. Still doable. It is always good to have the better batsman facing the last ball as the probability is better for him to score a boundary as he would be facing the best opposition bowler.

Five Needed. You cannot run five unless their is a misfield.Difficult situation. Come what may. Go for a six.

Six needed: Really a tough call. The odds are against the Batsman. Hoping against Hope .Hoping for a Miracle to happen. But Miracles do happen.

So, what has been the most memorable last ball wins in One day cricket?

I remember lance Klusnar hit a four of the last ball against New Zealand when South Africa need 4 runs to win.. this one goes unnotice because it was Klusnar who hit the shot.. and other reason was probably because new zealand had lost the series 4-0 already..

Yeah, was amazing, oddly Eddies two biggest achievements were with the bat, and if the (cliche alert) incident you're referring to had been a big-name batsman it would be talked of for years. Back then Lords finals had massive kudos.

Do I contradict myself?

20:20, I know. But Andre Adams' 10 off one ball to win a 20:20 for Auckland vs. Northern Districts was pretty funny. Poor old Graeme Aldridge.

Adam Wheater - Another batsman off the Essex production line
Also Supporting the All Time #1 Batsman of All Time Ever - Jacques Kallis and the much maligned Peter Siddle.

Seem to remember Trevor Chappell bowling us to a sensational win over New Zealand a few years back.
